I guess it would be possible, except it would mean that when a user 
build hatari but doesn't want to use the python-ui, gentypes.py would be 
called nevertheless.
And as python is not mandatory to build Hatari per se, it would add a 
dependancy on python, which doesn't seem right to me.

So, triggering a rebuild when src/configuration.c changes in the main 
tree is a problem. But maybe it's possible to put a local CMakeLists.txt 
in python-ui to have conftypes.py rebuild.
